I’ve always been animated, creative and a hustlepreneur. As the youngest of five, I sold bracelets I would make at home, braided hair, and made mixed CD’s for friends to cushion my movie and roller-rink allowance. Needless to say I had a commerce, supply and demand mindset early on.
I bought my first DSLR camera and Macbook (big deal at the time). That stemmed my love for graphic design. As an Atlanta native and performing arts high-school graduate, I fused hustle with arts and pursued a career in Media Arts, Production & Creative Direction.
A year after completing my M.F.A from Kennesaw State, I landed a “dream” corporate position. The gig and pay was great, but my freelanced side-hustles, that carried me through college, constantly pulled me from my 9-5 “dream job”.
Like others during Covid19, I was laid off, which was sort of a relief. I didn't have to wake up crazy hours or miss meals trying to make my side hustles work with WORK.
As I began facilitating the launch of my friends' businesses, funny enough, I got another “dream” job aligning with my degree. But the cat was out the bag!
With everyone at home, the websites I’d created were going viral, the referrals were pouring in, sales were doing tremendously well. I had to make a decision. Was I going to keep battling the inner hustle-preneur, hustling on corporate time, and hiding from my purpose? Or, would I fully commit to my dream of enabling people to be their own bosses and funding their own dreams, by creating cool shit?
